So, as threatened, the Siren is stealing Jacqueline T. Lynch's post idea . Jacqueline's concept was to look at relatively superficial, but satisfying, elements of classic film. Nothing like mise en scene, cinematography or acting styles, just the things that draw you into an older world. So ...

Mystery Man on Film — ... the film was crucial: this would be a melodramatic film, with moments of comedy and mirth interwoven with brutal violence, scenes of crushing poverty and torture. "Indian cinema isn't concerned with being authentic as a rule. That's a broad generalization, but it's largely true," Beaufoy says. "In England, you couldn't get away with with torture and comedy in the same movie, but here you could." Etan Cohen interview Ten Things I Love About Old Movies Worst Idea Ever: ...
